Beyond Meat started working on its sausage product a year ago, but CEO Ethan Brown says the new item actually captures the work thats been going on for the previous nine years.

Color me skeptical. Whenever I try one of these meat substitutes, it is easily detectable that it is NOT meat.
Has anybody out there actually tried this plant-based "sausage?" If so, what is your opinion of it?
There is no amino acid replacement for animal based proteins.

Walburger’s introduced a meat substitute called’ the impossible burger’ and many folks are saying it’s excellent and yes, does taste, smell and look like real meat- look up ‘impossible burger’ and it’ll bring you to the company website-
If there’s soy in it, be careful. Soy can mess with your hormones and can cause other problem. Be careful with soy.
Man boobs.
Did some government lab produce a virus that killed all of the pigs on the planet and I missed it in the news?
Why do we need a plant based sausage?
Yeah, but have YOU tried it? I want to hear input from people other than fanatic vegetarians who pretend it is just as good as real meat.
Proving once again that humans like meat. If they didn’t, there wouldn’t be the push to create fake meat.
I’ll admit to having bought vege-dogs over the decades from (rare) time to time. In the early 1990s they were horrid in texture and flavor. You really questioned just what the heck you were eating. Today... they are surprisingly not bad. They’re no old school butcher’s hot dog in a natural casing. But not bad. I don’t doubt in another decade or two they might just be pretty good.
The new Slim Jims I can't stand. That just totally lack the flavor and texture of the original Slim Jims. And I blame the soy additive.
It’s still rabbit food, and likely to cause intestinal distress.
LOL. Just like regular hot dogs.
>>Proving once again that humans like meat. If they didnt, there wouldnt be the push to create fake meat.
Fake meat isnt for vegans. Its for the rest of us so our betters in government or MNC board rooms are able to control our nutrition.
I haven't had this brand in particular. But thanks to my vegetarian friends, I've had some vegetable-based sausages that, while clearly not made of meat, were actually pretty good in their own right.
Milk is made for a baby cow
Cows are sacred in India
Now there are about 8 kinds of meat to eat and thousands of vegetables legumes and grains
There is karma involved with what you take into your body
Remember the animal fat that is a liquid in the pan is a solid at body temp
All this being said
You really are what you eat
Most important is to eat. A varied diet. And not too much
“Yeah, but have YOU tried it? I want to hear input from people other than fanatic vegetarians who pretend it is just as good as real meat.”
Isn’t it likely that this vegetarianism is impairing their ability to procreate? That’s a good thing that should be encouraged, no?
Meanwhile, meat prices are astronomical. I wish President Trump would have somebody do something about that.
Boobs.....................on guys.....................who don’t want them.....................
They can't be worse than Gwaltney Chicken Hot Dogs. You ever try them? They are like eating chicken flavored cardboard. My sister in law buys them because they are cheap. And I keep telling her that she can get also get Hebrew National or Nathan's quality hot dogs for a low price IF she uses coupons. Yet she somehow has the idea that using coupons is like rocket science. Meanwhile her family is condemned to eating chicken flavored cardboard.
